The motherboard, unlike most other devices, is sometimes not easily identifiable in the Device Manager, and sometimes it is hidden, and to view it you have to unhide them. Keep reading this article to learn how to update your motherboard resources in the Device Manager and also unhide it if it is hidden.

Do Windows updates install drivers automatically?

Windows generally have a large catalog of drivers, and they do update the drivers with every Windows update, but the problem is that they are not the latest version, and they lack drivers for most of the devices. Windows 11 also installs default drivers that help your PC work without any issues. But, if you are facing any issue or a component has completely stopped working, you might have to update the device with updated drivers.

Where do I find the motherboard resources in the Device Manager?

1. Unhide system resources

2. Manually updating the drivers

Repeat this process for every driver under System devices to keep your motherboard’s resources updated with the latest drivers.

3. Automatically updating the drivers

Why should you update the motherboard resources?

When you update motherboard resources, you are not updating the drivers for the motherboard itself. Instead, you are updating drivers for all the components that are attached to the motherboard, such as the CPU, RAM, peripheral devices, etc. The motherboard itself doesn’t require drivers, but you do require drivers for the hardware components and peripherals that are connected to the motherboard. Drivers act as a bridge between software and hardware, and they help the hardware components of your PC communicate with the software.  Without the drivers, your PC cannot communicate properly and your PC will show performance issues. And if you are running outdated drivers or drivers that have been corrupted, your PC can malfunction and stop working. By updating the drivers regularly, you can have your PC run efficiently and at maximum performance. You will also avoid running into problems such as network issues, audio issues, and whatnot, which are the result of having outdated or corrupted drivers on your PC. The motherboard hosts all the components, and to connect the hardware with the software, manufacturers release drivers that help these two communicate with each other. It is always recommended to update every device driver with the latest one so that your computer runs error-free. We hope this article has helped you learn how to update your device’s drivers properly.
